Vista - Microsoft is high towards the EULA for Vista

I have 3 legit copies of xp , I just read the EULA for Vista

I don't know about the rest of the world ? I now will not buy this OS

Microsoft >>> Totally going in the wrong direction with the EULA , It makes

Read 15 , 16

Same for me. I have 3 legit copies of XP Pro, one XP Tablet and 3 XP Home.
I think I will stay with them.
Dunno if it will do any good, but you may try to use the "Share Feedback"
icon on your desktop to let MS know your feelings.

So, if I am part of the few people who actually open the cases and change
hardware I do not count? That is BS.

MS should limit the OEM versions. If I buy a retail copy of Windows I pay
more for it than for OEM. I expect flexibility. Having the right to transfer
that retail copy of Windows to another machine ONLY ONCE is hardly any
flexibility.

Paul is wrong on this one.

Well, lets pass the word around to everyone and mention what Micorsoft is
trying to pull off with this license crap under Vista , Bottom line would be
NOT to purchase Vista

As XP meets my needs, I see no reason to buy Vista.

You have all missed the point completely, there are hardly ANY changes from
the Eula for XP, just clarifications from what people missunderstood in the
XP Eula.

Also, if you actually bother to read what MS answers in the Winsupersite
article you will see that enthusiasts will be able to move a copy, it's just
that they want you to call a support person and talk to them about what
happend so that they have some control over it. Just like with XP.

I agree with Paul Thurrot, yes, in an ideal world it would be great if
Windows was licensed to an individual instead of a machine, but the eula for
Vista is NOT different from the XP one.

So, if you really say you are happy with the (perceived) XP eula you will be
happy with the Vista eula.

I wonder who all these people are that say they wont buy it, it's strange, I
remember the same crap back when XP was released, "oh, it requires a top of
the line computer", "oh, the eula is crap", "oh, ms can do anything on my
computer", "oh, it limits my crappy companys program from running
insecurely"...did I forget something ? Then a few years later, 95% runs the
new system anyway.

I suspect 99.9% of those complaining and spreading these rumors are actually
paid by competitors, they aren't interested in facts, just spreading lies to
try and chip of pieces for themselfs since they cannot compete with good
software.

Really? Got a list of hardware changes that will trigger activation handy?

Got the EULA for the generic OEM Vista handy?

With XP, the only thing you are required to divulge is the ID number.
Now you are saying one has to grovel and explain!? Seems different to me.

Um, a device cannot purchase anything. A person can. Somehow it being
licensed to something that cannot even buy it isn't logical.

See above.

I never said that. I did, however, wait until XP was at SP1. The
versions before XP sucked is why people upgraded.
